I found where the hypershade was, and I changed the texture to my object to three different types of textures. Also, I learned how to change some of the lighting to make the material look more realistic.

Made the object look more finished and nicer looking. Also, I learned how to extrude inward, and delete faces inside of an object instead of deleting the entire object. I learned how to put on temporary modeling textures on objects for the finale part of the model.

Learned more about edge loops, and beveling the arm of the spaceship. Also, I learned how to smooth surfaces to make the arm look more realistic.

I was taught how to bevel, and make sharp edges for different areas of an object. To bevel, I had to make more divisions, which many more polygons. It helped make a smoother/sharper edges to make the object more life-like inside of the super sharp edges.

I learned to view different areas of an image/object by just pressing the shift button. Also, I learned to add, duplicate and delete objects I want and do not want.  I learned how to extrude and add more polygons.

I learned where the component controls were on an object, and was able to control them to create my own type of object. I also learned to change the shading of the object as well.
